Paladin EnviroTech has acquired Irish ITAD firm ICT as part of a wider £53 million ($70 million) investment programme spanning multiple acquisitions over the past nine months.

The US-headquartered firm said the deal will support its expansion in Ireland and the wider European market.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Following completion, ICT is expected to transition to the Paladin brand and relocate to a newly leased 52,000 square foot processing facility in Dublin.

The site is intended to serve as a regional hub for secure IT asset disposition (ITAD), including data destruction and materials recovery.

Brian Diesselhorst, CEO of Paladin, commented: “ICT is a strong legacy organisation in the ITAD space, built on doing the work in-house, maintaining chain-of-custody control, and meeting the highest standards for secure data destruction.

“This acquisition strengthens our ability to support customers in Dublin – widely considered the EU’s ‘data center capital’ – and across Ireland, with consistent execution and certified outcomes, while expanding our on-site shredding and secure handling capabilities in-region.”

Paladin recently announced the acquisition of R&L Recycling, a Netherlands-based recycler.

ITAD and electronics recycler

Founded in 2003, ICT is an established ITAD provider in Ireland, with a focus on secure data destruction and electronics recycling.

The company reported processing more than 2,000 tonnes of end-of-life electronics over the past year, alongside the secure shredding of more than 500,000 data-bearing devices.

ICT was the first operator in Ireland to achieve R2v3 certification, a standard covering data security, environmental practices and downstream accountability within the electronics recycling sector.

Its customer base includes enterprise organisations, hyperscale data centres, public sector bodies and commercial clients.

Operations include a mobile, on-site data destruction service using a purpose-built shredding vehicle equipped with industrial systems.

The company also provides IT asset remarketing, certified destruction, electronics recycling, data centre decommissioning, secure logistics and ESG-focused reporting.

Eva Warren, Chief Executive Officer at ICT, added: “ICT has always been focused on trust, control, and doing ITAD the right way. At a time when data risk and material loss are only increasing, a security-first mindset is foundational.

“Paladin shares that same operational discipline and commitment to full chain-of-custody.

“Together, we’re building a model where organizations don’t have to choose between security, compliance, and sustainability – we can deliver all three, at scale, across Ireland, the UK and Europe.”
